netsuite restlet get current role

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the current role of a user in a NetSuite Restlet, you can use the

runtime

module's

getCurrentUser()

function, which returns a

User

object. The

role

property of this object will give you the internal ID of the current user's role. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var runtime = require('N/runtime');
var role = runtime.getCurrentUser().role;

However, if you want to get the name of the role, you will need to use the

search

or

query

module to look up the role name using the role ID. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var search = require('N/search');
var roleName = search.lookupFields({ type: 'role', id: role, columns: ['name']}).name;

Please note that the Restlet will run with the permissions of the role of the current user. If the current user's role does not have permission to access the

role

record, you will not be able to get the role name using this method. In such cases, you might need to use a Suitelet that runs as an Administrator and is available without login, which takes a role ID and returns the name. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
